Fake Website requesting donations

Hi there,  I am the Admin of a website that has a longer history than the internet and 5800 registered users. Someone has recently bought a .org website using our name, has lifted information from our site and is requesting PayPal donations through a link on the banner. Is there a procedure that can be followed to get this website's fraudulent fundraising through PayPal blocked? Many thanks for any information you are able to provide.
